Sister Paige Martin. Syracuse, New York Mission

Hope you've all had a good week! Mine was busy!  We had to clean out our apartment because they are shifting mission boundaries, and this town, and apartment, will now be a part of the Pittsburgh, PA mission.  It was a big job, because several sister missionaries have left clothing here, because they went home from here. (AKA died). Anyway, I was so tired this week that I had a a hard time staying awake in church with a couple of our friends.  Oops!  TUESDAY: Well Tuesday was my last day in Wellsville.   Always a bitter sweet feeling to move from one place, where I've grown to love the ward, the people and my companion, and move to another, where there's a feeling of excitement and newness. WEDNESDAY: We had car problems and as a result my comp and I drove to zone conference separately, which is fine as long as we follow the "stay in sight and sound rule." So I'm going along following my companion while maps is up and then we decided to call our recent conv...

 Hi All, TUESDAY: Well let's see how well y'all remember previous emails! So in a previous email I think I mentioned someone named Annette! Who was amazing! The problem was she lived in Geneseo but was moving to Scio which was an area in Wellsville. And then I moved to Wellsville and have been trying to get in contact with her for weeks! And we finally did! We had this amazing lesson! She is still interested, wants to come to church in a couple weeks, and wants to do a church tour so she can see the church and get her husband involved! WEDNESDAY: So we were knocking this street and we met this sweet girl named Brianna! So we now have two! Apparently she had had family members meet with missionaries in the past and she wasn't ready then but age is now! We gave her a pamphlet which she has read since and now just need to set up another time to stop by! THURSDAY: Well we had a lesson with Brianna Rice. And we go to her house and Shane answers the door, which was a bit surprisi...

  Hello everyone!  We decorated a cigarette box for one of our friends who is trying to quit smoking.  He loved it!  We wrote scriptures on little papers and rolled them up to put inside the box! TUESDAY: We had planned on stopping by a contact named Lucinda and she was the sweetest! She mentioned how we had caught her at the right time and mentioned that she wanted to be baptized! And we were like, we can work you towards that! So we gave her a pamphlet and it was wonderful! WEDNESDAY: Well we got to meet with our Bev! We haven't been able to meet with her in a few weeks and we finally did! And then we stopped by another contact we don't know well, and when we knocked on the door, from inside we heard (paraphrasing here) "the "Mormons" are here!" It was so funny, and it's always interesting to hear conversations from the other side of the door, just not purposely. THURSDAY: So we had a not so great lesson with Alexia and Hailey last week, so we wanted t...
